Abstract(s)
A literatura evidencia o papel da capacidade de regulação emocional no ajustamento e bem-estar dos
indivíduos, i.e., para facilitar a ação nas diferentes situações de vida, de modo adaptativo. Há referências a que
crianças e adolescentes institucionalizados mostram falhas na capacidade de regulação emocional que radicam
na relação com os progenitores, sobretudo em situações de maus tratos. Analisou-se a regulação emocional e
satisfação com a vida em função das variáveis institucionalização, género e idade.
Participaram no estudo 47 jovens institucionalizados e não institucionalizados, de ambos os sexos,
tendo-se utilizado a versão portuguesa das escalas ERICA e SWLS para avaliar a capacidade de regulação
emocional e a satisfação com a vida, respetivamente.
A satisfação com a vida não apresentou diferenças significativas em função das variáveis independentes,
com médias de 3,17 (±0,85) nos masculinos e de 3,49 (±0,96) nos femininos; de 3,29 (±0,90) nos
institucionalizados e 3,33 (±0,92) nos não institucionalizados. Não se registaram correlações significativas
com a idade. Quanto à regulação emocional, evidenciaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas em
função do género, na escala total (U=165,000; p=.024) e subescala Controlo Emocional (U=177,000; p=.045),
favoráveis às raparigas, o que lhes confere uma melhor regulação e controlo emocional, não se evidenciando
discriminatória a variável institucionalização (média de 3,40±0,62 nos institucionalizados e de 3,17±0,28 nos
não institucionalizados). Quanto à idade, não se registam correlações significativas.
Os resultados, dissonantes com a literatura na variável institucionalização, exigem um aprofundamento
do estudo, quer em termos qualitativos, quer quantitativos.
Literature has highlighted the role of the emotional regulation ability in individual well-being and adjustment, this is to enhance in an adaptive way different life situations acting. There is evidence that institutionalized children and teenagers manifest a lack of emotional regulation ability steaming from the relationship with parents, especially in cases of abuse. The aim was analyze emotional regulation and life satisfaction depending on institutionalization variable, and also age and gender. Forty -seven institutionalized and non-institutionalized youths from both sexes participated in the study, having been used the Portuguese versions of ERICA and SWLS scales to evaluate emotional regulation ability and life satisfaction respectively. Life satisfaction did not present significant by independent variables with averages of 3,17 (±0,85) in the case of males, and 3,29 (±0,90) in the case of females; 3,29 (±0,90) in case of institutionalization and 3,33 (±0,92) in non-institutionalized cases. Significant correlations have not been found with age. Relative to emotional regulation, there were significant statistical differences in gender variable, in the global scale (U=165,000; p=.024) and emotional control subscale (U= 177,000; p=.045), favorable of girls which confers them a higher emotional control and regulation, not manifesting as discriminatory the institutionalization variable (mean of 3,40±0,62 in institutionalized cases and 3,17±0,28 in non-institutionalized cases). Relative to age there have not been found significant correlations. These results, dissonant with literature in the institutionalization variable, demand a deeper research study, both in qualitative and quantitative aspects.
